Chapter 3 - Chapter 2: A strange stranger!!

Sakolomé had gone to clean the ground that his mother had asked him to.

While doing so, he took the opportunity to perfect his combat techniques.

He tested a blow that he perceives as his ultimate strike, the Killer punch.

But by using only one of this blow Sakolomé found himself exhausted and drowsy.

He slept a little before waking up hungry.

He approaches the apple tree where his basket of food is but notices something unexpected.

Sakolomé: But damn what are monkeys doing with my food?!!!!

He screamed in anger.

The monkeys observe Sakolomé.

They were not ready to give up the latter's meal.

Sakolomé: Wait, you'll see, you bunch of idiots!!!

Sakolomé runs towards them.

The monkeys flee.

One of them rushes to lift Sakolomé's basket and runs away with it.

This makes Sakolomé even more angry and continues to run after them.

Sakolomé: Give me back my basket, you thieves!!!!

The monkeys moved very well from tree to tree with disconcerting agility but that was not enough to make the young killer man drop it.

The monkeys take a detour and arrive in a place partially destroyed by Sakolomé's killer punch.

There were still a few trees, the monkeys climb to the top.

Sakolomé's stomach gurgles louder.

Sakolomé was too hungry, he tries to climb the tree but trips violently and falls to the ground.

Sakolomé: Ouch, that hurts!!!!

The monkeys arrive at the top of the tall trees and disappear into the canopy.

Sakolomé, helpless, watches them on the ground.

He gets up still hungry with tears in his eyes.

Sakolomé: damn monkeys!!!

He wanted to continue his journey to continue his work but slips on a rotten fruit.

While slipping he enters a bush that hid another part of this place destroyed by Sakolomé.

Sakolomé falls to the ground and opens his eyes.

Sakolomé: Hum....!!

He looks everywhere and could see that many fruit trees were destroyed.

It was due to his killer punch.

Sakolomé: oh... I understand now, the monkeys who stole my basket were actually hungry, I destroyed all their food....

Sakolomé's gaze was emptier, leaving a little compassion for the mistake he had made.

Sakolomé: I should have checked key places before destroying everything

Sakolomé approaches a destroyed mango tree with completely crushed fruits.

He sits on it and picks up a juicy crushed fruit on the ground.

It was full of sand, leaves and insects.

Sakolomé removes some of this dirt with his hand and observes.

Sakolomé: damn, it's impossible to remove all the ants!!!

His stomach gurgles even louder.

Sakolomé closes his eyes and sighs.

Sakolomé: Well... I guess ants are full of proteins and vitamins!!

He consumes the crushed fruit with the ants it contains.

Sakolomé: yuck, the taste of these ants is disgusting!!!

He throws the fruit on the ground without finishing it.

He goes back under the apple tree from earlier and sits down underneath it.

He looks up and observes the foliage of the apple tree.

Sakolomé: There isn't even a single apple on it, and to think that I'm here until tomorrow and I'm already starving....

He holds himself close and falls back on his fate.

Then without expecting it, the sound of a plane in the sky catches his attention.

Sakolomé looks at the sky.

Sakolomé: Another traveler over there!

Suddenly, the plane in the sky emits a strange black smoke.

Sakolomé: Uh... I'm not good at mechanics or anything like that but that's not normal!

Sakolomé stands up and observes the scene.

The plane loses altitude and gets closer and closer to the ground.

Sakolomé: damn, he's going to spit himself, given this type of plane there can't be many people in it, better 2 or 3!!

The plane emits a small explosion at the front and falls into the forest.

Sakolomé: hum... it's about 800 meters from here, quick I'm going!!!

He jumps and flies away immediately.

But in the air, Sakolomé doesn't seem to be in a hurry, on the contrary.

He tries as best he can to be very discreet because he doesn't know who is in this plane, their intentions but let's hope they are alive after this fall.

Sakolomé gets closer and closer and stops his flight.

He lands on the ground about 120 meters from the smoky plane.

In the tall grass, he walks discreetly while trying to get as close as possible.

Finally up close, he was now about 15 meters from the plane, still hidden in the tall grass he observes what is happening.

From the plane, he sees a man getting out of it, he seemed to be doing very well.

He is a tall man, 1 meter 95, muscular, he wore gloves, had slightly long hair of light brown color.

He had a huge remarkable scar on his right eye which was closed by the way, but the most attractive thing about all this is that he did not seem very friendly.

_ What a bummer!

He says in a deep voice.

He approaches the front of this plane and scratches his head.

_ Hum ... I think I'm lost, well I always said that I hate machines, if I had flown by myself I would not be here !!

The man heads back to his plane.

Sakolomé, driven by his curiosity, moves a little closer in the grass.

He was now 6 meters from the plane, still hidden by the tall grass.

The man gets out of his plane again, with DIY equipment in a bag.

He whistles, with a relaxed air, making a melody of his whistle, then he suddenly stops.

_Hum...!!

He looks in the direction of Sakolomé.

Sakolomé notices him and tries to be as small as possible in his hiding place.

The man drops his equipment and says.

_Hey kid, I saw you, what are you doing in such an abandoned place?!

Sakolomé remains silent, he pretends that this man is not talking to him.

(Wait, he's talking about me? How did he spot me?!)

The man still standing observes.

_ Kid, come out of your hiding place, or would you prefer that I come and get you myself?

(Hugh...I should do what he says to avoid trouble!!)

Sakolomé gets up and comes out of his hiding place, he comes out of the mass of grass and finds himself outside of this grass that was hiding him.

The man looks at Sakolomé, Sakolomé did the same and looks him in the eyes.

A staring contest is taking place.

Each ignores the other's intentions.

Who could this kid be?

Who could this stranger be?

Then finally Sakolomé declines his gaze.

The stranger smiles and says.

_ Who are you Kid and what are you doing in such an abandoned place?!

Sakolomé: I...I!!!

_ Come on, don't be scared, you're a man after all!

Sakolomé swallowed.

The man picked up his DIY items and lay down under the plane.

He was starting to repair something.

Something that Sakolomé was completely unaware of.

_ Hey, kid, are you planning on standing like that? Come help me instead!

Sakolomé, perplexed, approached the man.

_ Pass me a screwdriver in my DIY bag, little one.

Sakolomé nods and looks in the bag.

Sakolomé: Um... sir, I see 3, which one should I take, the small one, the big one or the medium one?

_ The medium one!

Sakolomé takes the medium screwdriver and passes it to the man under the plane.

The man was concentrating on his DIY, Sakolomé was crouching, watching what the foreign man was doing.

A rather awkward moment of silence begins to itch Sakolomé.

He starts a conversation.

Sakolomé: Um... sir?

The man listening under the plane answers.

_ yes little one?

Sakolomé: Doesn't it bother you that a stranger like me, who is in a place like this, helps you? What if I wanted to hurt you?

The man chuckles and answers with ease.

_ You know, little one, you can't hurt me, I saw it in your eyes, you're not bad and you're very well-behaved!

Sakolomé surprised, wondered what this man could be talking about.

_ Listen little one, I have a little sister, her name is Néruxa, she's 17 years old, and she's very nice, caring and shy, I saw earlier that you had the same look as her!

Sakolomé (looking surprised answers): oh...!!

_ Yes my little one, even if I don't know why you have trouble telling me who you are, if you're lost too tell me I'm not a monster haha!!

The man comes out from under the plane and sits in front of Sakolomé, he was covered in dirt and gasoline, besides he smelled of gasoline.

He extends his right hand towards Sakolomé and says.

_ I am Ramos, Ramos Galru and you?

Sakolomé looks the man in the eyes and in the eyes of this man, he sees lots of starry lights that immediately put him at ease.

He extends his hand in turn and shakes the man's hand and says.

Sakolomé: I am Sakolomé, Sakolomé Satsujin Otoko!!

Ramos' eyes open in astonishment and he says.

Ramos: Satsujin Otoko, so you're a killer man?

Sakolomé nods.

Ramos: Wow I see, but he's pretty cute the little killer man!!!

He says while tickling Sakolomé.

Sakolomé starts laughing

Sakolomé: Hahaha, stop tickling Mr. Ramos hahaha!!!

Ramos stops tickling Sakolomé.

Sakolomé pulls himself together and says.

Sakolomé: But Mr. Ramos, knowing who I am doesn't bother you? Usually when people hear my last name, they run away or want to kill me!

Ramos looks at Sakolomé then looks at the sky.

Ramos: You know my little Sako, the bad killer men were in the past, you, you just suffer the mistakes of your ancestors otherwise you are not like them, in town I know a very nice killer man and super rich too!!

(a super nice and super rich man? Even more so a killer man? It must be Uncle Baham)

Sakolomé: is this man bald?

Ramos nods.

Ramos: yes, do you know him? His name is Baham!

Sakolomé: yes I know him, he's my uncle, Baham Satsujin Otoko

Ramos smiled widely as he looked at Sakolomé

Ramos: It's incredible, all that innocence in your eyes makes you so cute, it's crazy but with you, the killer men, both men and women are pretty good to look at!

Sakolomé blushed and smiled a little embarrassedly.

Ramos got up and said

Ramos: but that's not all, the killer men have superhuman strength and know how to fight, that's also well-known, so kid, do you know how to fight?

Sakolomé: Um... yes, a little!

Ramos smiled, as if he had found something he had been looking for.

Ramos: Perfect, and would you like to face me right now?

Sakolomé: Uh...!

Ramos: Just a friendly fight, not a fight to the death, don't worry!

Sakolomé smiles in turn and answers.

Sakolomé: So it's okay, Mr. Ramos!!!

Ramos, very excited, shakes his hands, ready to fight.

Ramos: So my little Sako, you better take your guard!!!!

Sakolomé gets up and jumps back then takes his guard directly to fight.

Sakolomé: Well, let's go!!!
